St. Gregorios Orthodox Society (SGOS)
St. Gregorios Orthodox Society (SGOS) is deemed as a global organization of the believers in the Malankara Orthodox Church who seek solace and protection in the intercessory prayers of Saint Gregorios of Parumala , an ideal servant of our Lord.
SGOS was dedicated on 3rd Nov 1997, with an aim to bring together the members of our Church in India and abroad to stand united in the chain of Prayer, Share and Care and to create for them the opportunities to communicate with members from various parts of the world and also to lead a model Christian life on the pattern of Parumala Mar Gregorios and to inculcate in others awareness about the divine presence through our Lord.
SGOS encourages its members to lead a prayerful life with a sense of oneness and fraternity, to share the burden of one another with love and to take care of fellow men who are in need. Each one to become the well-wisher of others. Through the SGOS, the young generation is trained to put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and to live confidently with Christian wisdom in this fast changing world.
SGOS members including school going children from the age of 10 years, spend half an hour every week to pray specially for their fellow men, on different subjects, ranging from recovery and healing from diseases, for gift of children, unity in family, and in the church and for world peace etc. The subjects for prayers are compiled and circulated to members by the Prayer Coordinator every week.
SGOS organizes family get-togethers at Parumala St. Gregorios auditorium since 1999. The 1st meeting was held on Aug 6, 99, the 2nd on July 29, 2000, the 3rd on July 21, 01 and the 4th family get-together on 20th and 21st July, 2002. H.G.Dr. Geevarughese Mar Osthathios, V. Rev. P.M.
